All-Night 'Possum Hunters.
Monday night "No Man's Land,"
somewhere down in the Horn't Creek
community, was invaded by a bunch
of Edgefield 'possum hunters, some
of them real blooded sports. They
journeyed to the hunting ground soon
after nightfall and, losing their way
about midnight, wandered in the
woods till broad day, when they re
turned to Edgefield weary and worn.
But their midnight meanderings were
not in vain, for they brought with
them eight fat marsupials for a feast.
Among the hunters were Wesley
Stewart/ Bunch Timmerman, Chal
mers Hughes, Willie Dunovant, Foy
Vause, Bud Bryant, John Mays and
a colored man. While all of them at
times slipped and slided on the straw,
first up and then down, but Mr. Vause
was the only one to completely lose
his "understanding," with the result
that he in the twinkle of an eye
found himself going over the bank of
the creek with a broadside splash in
the water, which was of October tem
perature. Being a game sport, he was
undismayed by this and help to "tail"
as many marsupials as any of the
crowd.

Mrs. M. A. Taylor's Lovely Tea
For Miss Miriam Norris.
Mrs. M. A. Taylor entertained four
teen guests at a charming tea party
on last Thursday afternoon in honor
of the. very popular bride-elect, Miss
Miriam Norris.
The spacious reception rooms and
hall flooded with mellow lights, were
adorned with yellow autumn flowers.
In the dining room, the yellow col
or scheme was beautifully carried
out. Yellow shaded lights softened the
pretty room, which was centered with
a beautifully appointed tea table.
The bride's place was distinguish
ed by an adorable little bride, the re
maining place cards being of Love's
ally, Cupid.
Golden dahlias formed an artistic
center piece and the dainty gold
banded china added to the artistic
scheme.
Five delicious courses were served,
after which, the bride was showered
with rice, which was in cunning little
yellow bags at each place.
The hostess presented the honoree
with an Edgefield cook book, filled
with recipes which have made Edge
field hostesses justly famous for de
lectable food.
The affair was a climax to the se
ries of enjoyoble parties given for
Miss Norris, whose marriage to Mr.
Stephen Darlington was an event
around which clustered the loving in
terests of a wide circle of friends.
